                  Using The Pitch Organizations

                Each number in the set represents the number of half-steps to the next pitch. To use the sets choose your starting tone and set.
For example,
Starting tone = d, set = [4-3-2-1-2]
The set will be:
d-f#-a-b-c-d.
F# is 4 half-steps above d, a is 3 half-steps above f#, b is 2 above a, c is 1 above b, and d is 2 above b.
